Black-Eyed Pea and Kale Stew Recipe

There’s something exciting about a pot of good stuff bubbling away on the stove. Especially when that “good stuff” includes powerful ingredients that provide a balanced array of minerals, protein and fiber. Adding the kale at the end of cooking ensures it’s softened enough to be enjoyed without destroying its nutrition through heat.

Superfood Tip

Using smoked ingredients such as chipotle powder and smoked paprika adds an impressive depth of flavor to recipes without compromising nutrition through overcooking. You can find these spices in most supermarkets or from online stores.
